I'm still blown away that long snappers can't get every single snap on target. That's all they practice

If practice made perfect, Brady would never miss a pass, Gostkowski would never miss a kick and Allen would never shank a punt.

Long snapping is a specialized and difficult skill.

All of those things have about a million factors determining the outcome. With the exception of weather, it's simply the snapper and the ball. If that is their specialized skill, I would expect them to get it right pretty much every single time_________________

Which is why long snappers miss like 1% of the time. What do you expect?_________________

They all do get it right 'pretty much every single time'. Guys who blow snaps more than once or twice a year are usually out of the league quickly.

Every starting (i.e. not a mid season emergency replacement) operates around 99% effectiveness (or is unemployed quickly). Factoring in weather and human nature (nerves, slip in concentrating due to the defense, bad grip on the ball etc) it's never going to be perfect._________________
